Qualifications are a key element of higher education policies in general and of the Bologna Process in particular. Much work has been accomplished in this area over the past few years, and a proper understanding of qualifications is essential to making the European Higher Education Area a reality. This book provides a systematic overview of the concept of qualifications, discusses its main elements, such as Ievel, workload, quality, profile and learning outcomes, examines generic and subject-specific competences. The author also considers the development of qualifications frameworks and explores the impact of our understanding of the concept of qualifications on recognition.Sjur Bergan is Head of the Department of Higher Education and History Teaching of the Council of Europe, a member of the Bologna Follow-Up Group and one of the authors of the Council of Europe/UNESCO Recognition Convention. He has played an active role in the development of the overarching qualifications framework of the European Higher Education Area.

Book Description
Qualifications systems are useful tools for modernising education and training. This publication focuses on the reality of policy development in different countries. After reminding the reader that education and training systems, and therefore qualifications systems, are always closely integrated with a country’s social and cultural priorities, this volume shows that there is evidence from a range of countries that learning can be enhanced by developing the recognition of learning through qualifications and by defining qualifications levels.

Book Description
The second Cedefop overview on the development of national qualifications frameworks (NQF) confirms the importance and priority attributed to the development of national qualifications frameworks (NQF) across Europe. Thirty-one countries (27 members of the European Union, the candidate countries Croatia and Turkey and European Economic Area countries (Iceland and Norway) are developing or implementing a national qualification framework. These frameworks help link national systems of qualification to the European Qualification Framework. Member States also see them as tools that support national reforms and coherent lifelong learning policies. NQFs are instrumental in promoting the use of the learning outcomes approach and in addressing barriers between vocational education and training and higher education in Europe.

Book Description
Building on the dynamic sparked by its 2008 recommendation on the establishment of the European qualifications framework for lifelong learning (EQF), the Council agreed on a revised recommendation in 2017. The intention was to strengthen EQF implementation across countries, systems and institutions, with a view to raising people's 'employability, (...) mobility and access to further education'. The European Commission, all EU Member States, a number of third countries, social partners and many other stakeholders work together to ensure consistent, transparent and coordinated mapping ('referencing') of national qualifications frameworks to the EQF. The frameworks' systematic use of learning outcomes fosters transparency and comparability of qualifications across countries and systems. There has been steady progress and, now, imagining European education and training systems without the frameworks has become quite impossible.

Book Description
The European Commission, in close cooperation with Cedefop and the European Training Foundation, publishes a series of EQF Notes in order to support debate and action related to the implementation of the European Qualifications Framework for lifelong learning (EQF) at national and European level. EQF Note 1: Explaining the European Qualifications Framework for Lifelong Learning was published in June 2008 at the event of the launching of the implementation of the EQF. EQF Note 1 informed stakeholders about the general context of the establishment of the EQF in the form of questions and answers. This note, EQF Note 2: Added Value of National Qualifications Frameworks in Implementing the EQF addresses policy makers and qualifications experts and aims to support the design and implementation of national qualifications frameworks (NQFs) as tools for implementing the EQF at national level.

Book Description
As countries across Europe are pushing ahead with their national qualifications frameworks (NQFs), the question of the frameworks' added value and contribution to policies and practices is taking centre stage. While every NQF is unique, being organically woven into the fabric of a country's education and training system, the frameworks share many features. They are based on learning outcomes, support consistency of qualifications, and bring together stakeholders from across the board. Since its inception in 2008, the European qualifications framework (EQF) has been the common reference tool bringing European countries' NQFs together. The recently revised EQF Council recommendation encourages the trend towards comprehensive frameworks which include qualifications of all types and levels, awarded by different bodies and subsystems. It also addresses the question of their impact, stressing the need to make their contribution to lifelong learning, employability, mobility and social integration more visible to end-users.

Book Description
Initial work on the European qualifications framework (EQF) started 10 years ago, in autumn 2004. Partly triggered by this initiative, qualifications frameworks have since become integral parts of almost all education and training systems in Europe. Outside Europe, more and more countries and regions (such as Asia-Pacific) are rapidly developing and implementing qualifications frameworks. Over this period, Cedefop has been systematically mapping and analysing emergence of qualifications frameworks in different settings and for different purposes.--
